 At the Pomological society's exhibition in Boston this week pears were shown from the original Bartlett pear tree on the grounds of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Roxbury. This tree is now about fifty years old and this and one other that grew near it are said to have been the parents of all the Bartlett pear trees in the country. They came from Europe with lot of other trees and upon fruiting proved to be entirely unknown in this country. The pears took their name from Enoch Bartlett, the owner of the trees.

 The increasing progress of railroad con- struction in the Dominion of Canada in the past few years is strikingly illustrated by a report recently issued by the Canadian gov. ernment. The first passenger line was opened for traffic in 1887. In 1870 the number of miles in operation was 3, 497. In 1880 this number had been increased to 6,S91. By the end of 1886, however, the mileage had been increased to 1O,697, showing that there had been nearly as much construction during the last six years ss for the preceding ten years. The amount of aid given and due to railroads from the Dominion and Provincial governments and municipalities is shown to be $184, 1852, ,s56.

The Fruit Gardens of the sahara.

ltrom the Fall Mall Gazette
 It is well known that the Sahara is not everywhere synonymous with desert, and that region, despite the dryness of it's eli mate and the general aridity of it's surface, possesses many 8 well-cultivated and thickly inhabited oasis, where the combination of the two elements of sun and water has pro duced marvels in the way of vegetation. The lower Sahara is an immense basin of ar- tesian waters, and at times there is 8 supera- bundance; but the number of cultivated tracts is increasing very rapidly, there being no fewer than forty-three oases in the Oued- Rir, which, after period of thirty years, has thirteen thousand inhabitants, five hum dred and twenty palm trees in full bearing that is which have been planted more than seven years-one hundred and twenty thou sand trees between one and seven years old, and one hundred thousand fruit trees, while the value of the dates grown each year aver ages one hundred thousand pounds. The oases of Laghouat and Oued Mizi and those of Yeryvi1le and Ain-Sana have one hun dred thousand palm trees, and those of Fi- guig one hundred and forty thousand, while Mzab, with its thirty thousand inhabitants, nearly all shepherds or merchants, cultivates two hundred thousand. Fab, together with
 
 which grow nine hundred thousand palm trees and five hundred thousand fruit trees Sout, with a population of fifteen thousand, has one hundred and fifty thousand palm trees of the choicest kind and over fifty thousand fruit trees. Lastly the various oases of Ouargla have over four hundred thousand palm trees and one hundred thous sand fruit trees. All these results, to say | nothing of the trade in wool, the cultivation of tobacco, vegetables, corn, the vine and other things grown beneath the shelter of | the palm trees, and of the raising of ostrich ! es, which, it is considered, might be made as profitable as it is at the Cape, have been ar ! rived at partly by the natives and partly by the French, though the latter have not be- | gun to colonize Sahara until within the last ten years. They began by buying oases and l gardens in the Zab and the Oued-Rir and after that they set to work to form fresh 1 oases in the region of Bishra, and especially | in the Oued -Rir

Sclwenk had accidentally shot himself
while on duty as officer OF the watch on
the Alert. Mail advices received to-day
put more serious light on the matter.
While on duty on the vessel Lieut..
Schwenk stopped to pick up revolver,
which proved to have been tied in such
manner that when lifted bow-Iine
slipped over the trigger, causing dis
charge. Commander Graham reported
that there can be no doubt that there
was plan to assaSSinate some officer of
the vessel, and that he has ordered a
searching Investigation. Lieut.. Schwenk
was seriously wounded in his left wrist,
and misunderstanding is feared.

the ice, so cents for laying it on the
sidewalk in the sun, 50 cents more if
you want it put in a shady place, or 50
cents extra if you want it set over the
fence in the yard. If you want it car
ried into the house and put in the re-
frigerator it will be so cents more, which
places your ice i'll the refrigerator for
$3.50 a month. You see it's a great deal
Of trouble, and we can't afford to have
our drivers sweat for nothing. If you
want the ice taken up stairs we will
have it carried up at the rate of % cents

me. I'll make arrangements to have
my ice sent from Honolulu. I've got to
